    Hi,

    I am developing a (simple) systray app in VB.Net 2008 Express.  When it is
    minimized and a status variable changes, I am using Growl for Windows
    to  notify the user.  Growl allows for callbacks.  In the Growl
    callback, I would like to restore the app's main form with 'me.visible
    = true'.  When I do this I get an error 'Cross-thread operation not
    valid'.  I have tried Microsoft's solution using a dummy timer (see
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190523
     
    ).

    Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    Regards,
    Adri
